I got very lucky yesterday. This was my second day driving around with my just installed Greddy oil filter relocation kit. The original location of the filter is just such a PITA to get to on the SR.

My kit was missing the all important o-ring that is used between the sandwich adpater and the block. I took off a gasket off of an oil filter and it fit so I used that instead - big mistake as I later found out.

So I am driving around and boosting and getting off the freeway, when I notice that my oil pressure is very low and the next thing I notice is the oil light on the dash in on. Turn off the engine and pull over. Pop the hood and check the oil - NONE. Look at the kit and there is oil all over the place.

So I pull of the kit right there and put in oil and she starts right up with no noises. Thank goodness. I count my blessings.

Oh and btw, the new RS*R Exmag exhaust is really nice and quiet as someone previously posted. The looks are so stealthy as well.

Glad you got off easy. Hope you have better luck when you re-install the relocation kit.
